It is good to see owners that have a bit more mileage than the 32K that I have on my 2016. I have been monitoring the battery very closely. I arrive at capacity values two ways. I determine how much capacity the car needed to go from plugin (17%) to full charge (typically 80%). lets say 63%...

I have a 2016 and I love it. I bought it used and have had for two years. I would love to keep it for fifteen years, but I am concerned about the battery. It is not a problem yet. I have 30k miles on it and I am very careful with the battery. I try to keep it in the 30-80% charge range...

I am in this camp as well. I have 2016 e-golf. I bought it used with 13K miles on it. I really like it. It has been my MO to own a car for 15-20 years. Besides the battery, I can't imagine anything else wearing out for at least 200K. I am hopeful that I am not alone in this thinking. It...

I am looking for a reliable and honest service tech to help me with my 2016 e-golf. The service light is on and I really don't want to drop several $100 to get it turned off. I am having a hard time determining what they might do for $300. That is what the local VW dealer want for a scheduled...

I am a DYI service and repair person. I have managed to get a hold of official manufactures service/repair manuals for my previously owned vehicles. Does anyone know how I might get a hold of a similar manual for my newly acquired 2016 e-golf? Mike

I found one for a very reasonable price and about 5 1/2 years on the battery warranty. Here are my initial observations after two weeks. I averaging about 4 to 5 mi per kw. I did not get one with the DC quick charge. I was concerned about the potential battery abuse, that was possible, with...

I am two weeks into my three month free trial. I must say that I am not impressed. I have to go thru the login procedure every time I access the app. And there is not a whole lot of information. With just a little foresight I can accomplish just about everything this offers with the on board...

Jhumroo, I don't know if you are still looking, but I recently took the plunge on a 2016 e-golf and was wanting to have an answer to the battery health question. I spent a great deal of time at this and a number of other forums for advice. There are a number of things that can do damage to the...

It is my understanding that the battery out of the factory will only show about 94%. I have been the OBDEleven website so I am aware that it is only android compliant, not a problem for me as that is the phone OS I use. Did you have to do anything special to get the SQH value to be...

I have searched this forum rather extensively and I have not found how I use an OBDII reader. I have one and I have plugged it into my gas engine vehicle. It sent a whole host of information to my cell phone without me doing anything at all. Would this same thing occur if I plugged it into a...

Why does the 110v charge take so much longer than 220v? In my mind it should only double the time. Volkswagen's literature says the charge time is nearly triple.

Hello all. I found a 2016 e-golf with a little over 10k miles. It does not have the 7.2kw charger, but it looks in really good shape. Here is my situation and concerns. My commute (primary usage) is about 35mi round trip. I live in the Seattle area, so the temperature is pretty moderate year...

I did find a 2016 with a little over 10K miles. The price is attractive. I am just a little concerned that don't have anyway of knowing the state of the battery until I have owned for a little while.

Would anyone have any idea when the 2017 cars may be coming off lease. I could be patient.

Explain why. I ask because there doesn't appear to be any of those available yet.

I have read the thread, but is unclear to me what I should be looking for once I have this device. I am wondering if a dealer would allow me to plug it in before I purchase the vehicle. Where is the connector located?

I am unfamiliar with the vehicle, but I have test driven a 2016 model and I really like it. I understand that the Nissan Leaf has a "bar" indicator on the dash that gives some indication as to life of the battery. Is there something similar on the egolf? I am really trying to insure that I...
